Chords
[Intro]
D F#m7
C Em7
[Verse 1]
D There's traffic in the F#m7sky
And it doesn't seemC to be getting much Em7better
There's kids playing Dgames on the pavement
Drawing F#m7waves on the pavement, mm, hmm C
Shadows of the Em7planes on the pavement, mm, hmm D
It's enough to make me F#m7cry
But that don't Cseem like it would make it feel Em7better
Maybe it's a Ddream and if I scream
It will F#m7burst at the seams
WholeC place will fall into piecEm7es
And then they'd Asay... Ab
[Chorus]
G Well how could we have known? A
I'll tell them it's notD so hard to Bmtell, no, no, Gno
If you keep adding stones A
Soon the water Dwill be lost in the Bmwell
Mmm, Ghmmm A
[Verse 2]
D Puzzle pieces in the F#m7ground
NoC one ever seems to be Em7digging
Instead they're looking Dup towards the heavens
With their F#m7eyes on the heavens, mm, hmm C
There are shadows on the Em7way to the heavens, mm, hmmD It's enough to make F#m7
me cry
That don't Cseem like it would make it feel Em7better
The answers could be Dfound
We could learn from digging F#m7down
But noC one ever seems to be Em7digging
Instead they'll Asay Ab
[Chorus]
G Well how could we have known? A
I'll tell them it's notD so hard to Bmtell, no, no, Gno
If you keep adding stones A
Soon the water Dwill be lost in the Bmwell
Mmm, Ghmmm A
[Verse 3]
D Words of wisdom all aF#m7round
But noC one ever seems to listEm7en
They're talking about their Dplans on the paper
Building F#m7up from the pavement, mm, hmm C
There shadows from the Em7scrapers on the pavement, mm, hmm D
It's enough to make me F#m7sigh
That don't Cseem like it would make it feel Em7better
The words are all aDround
But the words are only F#m7sounds
And noC one ever seems to listEm7en
Instead they'll Asay Ab
[Chorus]
G Well how could we have known? A
I'll tell them it's realDly not so hard to Bmtell, no, no, Gno
If you keep adding stones A
Soon the water Dwill be lost in the Bmwell,
Lost in the Gwell Mmm, A
mm, mm, Dmm.
